Emergency services called to Tay Road Bridge after six-vehicle smash

Traffic is tailing back the length of the Tay Road Bridge following a collision involving multiple vehicles.

The crash took place shortly before 12.30pm on the northbound carriageway leading from Fife into Dundee, and involved half a dozen vehicles. Cars are tailed back as far as Fife itself on the A92, according to traffic data obtained from Google Maps.

Traffic monitors have urged motorists in the area to take care amidst the mile-long queue of Dundee-bound cars. An image shared on Facebook page Fife Jammer Locations showed a white crossover-style vehicle sitting behind a black Kia saloon, with both showing clear signs of damage.

The image was captioned: "Four car smash on the Tay bridge."

The Tay Road Bridge Twitter account said: "Please expect delays heading northbound into Dundee across the Tay Road Bridge following an accident. Right hand lane is closed on the northbound carriageway.

"Emergency services are at the scene. Expect delays."

Traffic Scotland added: "The Northbound carriageway at the Tay Road Bridge is currently restricted due to collision. Police are en-route."

Stagecoach has warned bus passengers to expect delays on all services between Dundee and Fife as a result of the smash.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers were called to reports of a six vehicle crash on the Tay Road Bridge northbound at around 12.20pm on Friday, 29 July, 2022. Emergency services are currently at the scene.”
